"Nothing beats listening to film on the radio"



In an unforgettable collection of programmes, six well-known figures each choose their favourite movie - one that might
have even changed their life. Our presenters have each selected a landmark film which they review with the assistance of
an impressive line up of expert contributors. Their choice alone reveals something about them, but through the course of
each programme, they also reveal more about their preoccupations, aspirations and obsessions at different times in their
lives.



From The Radio Times



It's a good title for a series and, indeed, the premise that runs with it is equally
smart - famous people select and discuss their favourite films. But if this opening edition is anything to go by, it has
little to do with a movie that changed their lives. Mournful singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega chooses the musical comedy
Funny Face, starring Audrey Hepburn as a mousey intellectual who works in a bookshop. Apart from a passing reference to
the fact that Vega loves books, there's nothing to imply that this film changed her life. But I'm just splitting hairs.
It's a glorious opportunity to hear some lovely lines from a fairy-tale romance and I enjoyed it immensely.



-- Jane Anderson



1/6 Suzanne Vega's Funny Face



Suzanne Vega chooses Funny Face: a stylish, romantic musical starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. Mousey
intellectual Jo Stockton is discovered in a Greenwich Village bookshop by Dick Avery, the photographer for New York
fashion magazine, Quality. Crowned the reluctant new face of the magazine, she is flown to Paris where she is to model
the latest collection by France's leading designer. Jo, however, has her own motivation for visiting Paris: she wants to
find Professor Flostre, the man behind the Empathicalist philosophy she follows. But when Jo finds she has to choose
between Flostre and Avery, which way will she go? Directed by Stanley Donen with songs by George and Ira Gershwin and
clothes by Givenchy, Funny Face is as charming today as when it was first released in 1957.



2/6 Lenny Henry's A Matter of Life and Death



From The Radio Times



In the second programme of this illuminating series, you might have expected comedian
Lenny Henry to choose a movie starring a comedy idol like Richard Pryor or Steve Martin. So it's a pleasant surprise
that he opts for the 1946 British classic A Matter of Life and Death. Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger,
the tale of a bomber pilot (David Niven) who cheats death, falls in love with an American radio operator (Kim Hunter)
and then faces a celestial trial to decide his fate, is pure celluloid magic. Henry's passion and enthusiasm for the
film - the directors' ability to take the audience to another place, the mesmerising use of colour and monochrome
photography by the late Jack Cardiff to illustrate life and afterlife, the unforgettable stairway to heaven - are a
breath of fresh air. 



-- Jeremy Aspinall





In programme two, Lenny Henry chooses A Matter of Life and Death. This 1946 Powell and Pressburger film was intended to
soothe post war animosity between Britain and America. It stars David Niven as Peter Carter, a fighter pilot who escapes
his burning plane as it crashes in the Channel.



He finds and falls in love with the American wireless operator (Kim Hunter), the last voice before he bailed out. But
Carter is troubled by hallucinations...the powers in heaven have slipped up and want him there...he must fight for the
right to live.



Listeners will be enthralled by Lenny Henry's passion for this film - a film buff through and through, his reading of
the film makes compelling listening. Contributors include Ian Christie, Powell's widow Thelma Schoonmaker, and the
director Martin Scorsese.



3/6 Siouxsie Sioux's Hitchcock's Psycho



From The Radio Times



When a "rebellious punk enchantress" meets the Master of Suspense, it's
murder as Siouxsie Sioux hails the genius of Alfred Hitchcock and his seminal horror, Psycho. The former Banshee is an
engaging and perceptive host as she reflects on the film's plot, technique, unforgettable score and legacy (not bad for
a half-hour show). With anecdotes from admirers like RT columnist Barry Norman, it's a loving appreciation of a great
film and a great film-maker. Hitchcock's belief that all his films were comedies and composer Bernard Herrmann's
influence on the (many) guitarists in Siouxsie's band are just some of the titbits revealed. Never mind Janet Leigh's
lingerie, Anthony Perkins's Norman Bates being "a bit of a perv" and that shower scene, just sit back and
wallow in the enthusiasm.



-- Jeremy Aspinall



In programme three, Siouxsie Sioux chooses Hitchcock's Psycho. She vividly recalls watching it with abject horror, but
ultimately it had a profound influence on her ideas about style and music. She shares with Hitchcock a flair for the
subversive, always wanting to shock and disconcert the repressive suburban community in which she grew up.



She regards Hitchcock as a genius whose strong visual sense is second to none: "He used 70 or more frames for that
single 45 seconds in the shower and you feel as though you can remember each one - the way the water spirals down the
plug - incredible." Bernard Herrmann's score for Psycho was a direct source of inspiration for a number of her
songs: "Suburban Relapse was made with aggressive strings, discordant, jarring stabs and Staircase Mystery is a
tribute to both Herrmann and Hitchcock".



Contributors to this episode include Alan Parker, Peter Bogdanovich and Paul Morley.



4/6 Martin Kemp's Enter The Dragon



From The Guardian 



Well-known folk sharing details of their favourite music, food, books, etc, can
occasionally sound a bit forced. Not so Martin Kemp in Radio 2's hugely fun The Movie That Changed My Life. Kemp's only
problem was reining in his passion for Enter the Dragon.



An over-the-top intro voiced in gravelly, movie-trailer tones got us revved up for the main feature, in which Kemp
described how, aged 12, he managed to get into the Odeon Holloway Road in London to see the 18-rated film. Coming out
"was mad . . . every kid was jumping in the air, doing kung fu moves". Along with three friends, he confessed,
he went straight home, borrowed a dad's Super8 camera and straightaway shot a three-minute film in which they all tried
to look like Bruce Lee. Paul Ross shared similar memories – "it was like a religious experience".



Kemp, now a director himself, spoke of how the film featured no clever editing, special effects, wire work or trick
photography, yet "has a realness that film-makers now, with all today's techniques, still have trouble coming close
to". Ross went further, saying Enter the Dragon changed cinematic history, and had his own explanation for its huge
success. "Lee was teeny weeny . . . all of us weedy, underfed Londoners thought we could be
supermen."



-- Camilla Redmond 





In programme four, Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp chooses the landmark martial arts film Enter The Dragon. It was the
first kung fu film to have been made by a major Hollywood studio and paved the way for the genre of films which have
developed into the supernatural modern legends which include Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. 

Enter the Dragon is largely set in Hong Kong in the 1980s, "an impossible place" in the mind of the young
Kemp, then a teenager. The film called on the best stuntmen in town, the Seven Little Fortunes including Jackie Chan and
Sammo Hung. In this programme, Kemp kicks and flips his way through his life changing film.



5/6 Honor Blackman's All About Eve



Honor Blackman chooses the 1950 classic All About Eve, in which ageing actress Margo Channing (Bette Davis), sees her
career threatened by young devotee and aspiring star, Eve Harrington (Anne Baxter).



The film, which includes among its cast a young Marilyn Monroe, won six Academy Awards, and its screenplay by director
Joseph Mankiewicz is a sharp and witty take on the ruthless world of celebrity. Honor recalls when she first saw the
film as a rising star herself, and the effect it had on her own acting career.



From The Radio Times



In the penultimate programme of this terrific series, actress Honor Blackman brings
her unmistakeable voice and lively personality to an appreciation of 1950 Oscar-winner All about Eve. An inspirational
movie to the young Blackman, it contains some of the juiciest roles and lines for an actress ever created for a
Hollywood film. Probably the most telling insight Blackman makes is that it's a film all about women and how they have
to cope with the advance of age and the ambition of youth. Some things never change.



-- Jeremy Aspinall



6/6 Joe Brown's Monte Carlo or Bust



Rock and roller Joe Brown looks at his all time favourite Monte Carlo or Bust, a film that's been making him laugh for
40 years, with its endless one-liners and hilarious slapstick calamity.



Released in 1969, it's a flamboyant last blast of a Hollywood era before the less flamboyant 1970's cinema took hold. It
follows the story of the real life Monte Carlo Rally - the race to the Riviera from points across Europe, with cheating,
scheming and speeding. It's a big budget family fun, with scenes from Scotland, Sicily, Portugal, Athens, India and
France. It's also got a stellar line up including Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Tony Curtis, Susan Hampshire, Terry Thomas
and Eric Sykes. This episode includes an interview with Eric Sykes himself.
